The concept of consumption community, first proposed by historian Daniel Boorstin, claims that in the modern era of high mobility, people look not only to neighborhood as a basis for feelings of community, but also to communality of consumption behavior (e.g., drinking the same brand of beer). The idea was tested cross-nationally by administering a newly devised psychological sense of community (PSC) scale to more than 100 adult respondents in Belgium and a like number in the US. The findings support Boorstin in that for both national samples, PSC values for consumption itmes were generally positive and consistent with social science theoretical expectations. Implications of the study findings are discussed for theory and social policy
